i guess there is no way to sugar-coat it. sticking with it is HARD!! i sometimes refer to myself as &quot;99 and a half&quot; because i am gung ho off the mark, and quit before i can complete something. i hate it, but it happens.
i KNOW that food can be SO tempting. some things just taste so darn good! some things there is no substitute for. but you have to make the commitment. maybe make a list of things that you give in to (pizza, ice cream, whatever it is for you) and look online for healthier versions and recipes for healthier versions.

I totally understand. I get so tired of having to wear my blouses or shirts outside of my pants or skirts to hide my bulging stomach. But I find that allowing myself 2 days out of a week to eat a portion of what i crave for helps me. be it pizza, ice cream, or a snack bag of chips. than I eat no more of it until the next designated day of snacking. That way I don't feel deprived. So far it has been working.

We are all so different and unique. What motivates one, might annoy another. I think that when the time comes for you that you will have a moment where you just say, no more. I AM going to do this. I can't tell you what will work for you. I too am someone who seems to go strong for a while and then, I just give up when it gets to hard. so that is my goal, more than the weight loss. TO learn how to push on despite hardship. I mean it, I am the QUEEN of quitting. Lets get through this all of us together!!!

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
